I'm so glad 3fc has a support board! My mother - who by the way is 5', about 115 pounds if that and has NEVER has been overweight - called me a "lard but" this morning. Having been overweight for 10 years or so (the year my worst), I've been the recipient of many "weight" comments from her, but none were name calling. Maybe I'm taking it wrong, but it really hurt my feelings and I told her so. She didn't say anything. Nothing. No "I'm sorry" or "I didn't mean it like it sounded." Nothing. My mother lives with me and I was hoping for support rather than insults. Sigh. Perhaps I deserve it for letting my weight get out of control! Ugggg. I think I'll grab me a SF and walk it off.
